Overview
EN 4616:2005 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the technical requirements for magnesium alloy MG-C18002 in T4 temper, produced using chill casting methods, specifically for aerospace applications. This standard ensures consistent material properties and quality controls, supporting the manufacture of high-performance magnesium alloy components used in the aerospace industry.
Key Topics
- Material Specification
- Magnesium alloy MG-C18002 with controlled composition for optimal corrosion resistance
- Chemical composition limits including aluminum, manganese, zinc, and trace elements
- Production Method
- Chill casting as the prescribed production technique, promoting uniformity and superior casting quality
- Mechanical Properties
- Delivery condition T4, with precise heat treatment requirements (425 °C to 435 °C for 12 to 20 hours)
- Minimum tensile properties, including proof stress ≥ 80 MPa and ultimate strength ≥ 200 MPa in key test conditions
- Elongation minimums to ensure material ductility
- Testing and Inspection
- Reference to EN 2076-3 for test sample preparation, inspection of external and internal defects, dimensional checks, and marking
- Batch uniformity and hardness requirements (maximum hardness HB ≤ 20)
- Heat Treatment and Delivery
- Defined heat treatment processes optimizing microstructure and mechanical properties
- Specifications for quenching methods and cooling rates to reduce distortion
- Standard Compliance
- Conformance to norms such as EN 4258 for aerospace metallic materials and EN 4500-2 for drafting and presentation of magnesium alloy standards
- Integration and alignment with European aerospace industry guidelines and national standards across member countries
